Most amazing Alaska Bears and Beers Tour

5.00Our guide, Angie, was the best tour guide I have ever had! She is a native Alaskan and loves to share her amazingly beautiful state with her guests. The tour was supposed to be approximately 6 hours but ended up being closer to 8. Angie asked at the beginning of the tour if she could show us extra places that wasn’t on the list that I will never forget! She showed us Alaska surfing the bore wave which happens only a certain times of the year. (Google Alaska bore wave) It was the tide surfing into the inlet like a flash flood that surfers would ride in 30 degree weather. We all loved it!! Also stopped along the way to see Beluga whales! Angie has been going to the animal sanctuary since she was a kid and knows all animals by name. They even know her and respond to her! We finished things up at Girdwood Brewery located in a ski area. It has such a great vibe and we all had some amazing craft beers. Angie is also an amazing photographer and took some incredible pictures of all of us and showed us how to do it ourselves on our phones. Lastly, Angie asked where we wanted to be dropped off and did so for all the 7 new friends in made this day. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars!⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best tour!!!!

5.00Went on the Bears and Beers tour on our last day in Alaska. Angie was an awesome tour guide, very knowledgeable of everything Alaska. Spent extra time showing us out of the way views. She also went above and beyond to make our last day so full of adventure before dropping us at the airport. Highly recommend Angie and the Bears and Beer Tour, it will not disappoint!
